How much do you trust the Celtics to win the title in 2024?

1. I trust them a lot. We're winning the chip this year.
16
24%
2. I have big trust in them, but Denver could well beat us.
16
24%
3. I trust the team, but match-ups and coach disadvantage could mean the Cs come up short.
13
19%
4. I recognize the talent, but trust would be a stretch: Mazzula and JT are still unproven in the biggest stage.
13
19%
5. I don't really trust this team at all. The healthiest team will win the chip.

I chose option 3. I just don't have any confidence in our coach.

No trust
SamIam 2010: Truth's ability to play so incredibly efficiently is so UNDERAPPRECIATED. Bballcool 2012: Amazing how great Pierce has been for so long. Continues to defy age! KG 2013: P is original Celtic. Wherever he goes, we go. This is The Truth's house.

Yes....a fade away 27 footer....wait a minute....perfect ending for who?

To be fair tonight was different- it was a side fade 24 footer!

You don't have to trust them.

By you watching every Celtic game means the Celtics have already won.

That's the ideal, but reality is that's not going to happen.

Don't get me wrong, I don't disagree with you, but in reality we all know that's not happening because JT's the man.

The Cs will only go as far as where JT takes them.

I don't trust Mazzulla. I don't trust the bigs on this team either.

You continue to say some ^%&%& Shet.. Dude I really try not to respond to you, but you make it near impossible. I watch every Celtic game because I love BB and the Celtics.. Neither means I have to trust them.

That's really weird.

If you don't trust somebody you will still spend a lot of time with him or her?

Maybe it's just a case of glutton for punishment because if something gives me so much grief, I cut ties with it.

Or it's just partly true.

I mean maybe you don't trust the Celtics will win, but you trust them to give you entertainment?

Maybe the question is do the Celtics trust us here?

The Celtics will say they trust us because no matter how bad they are in late game situations, we all still watch every single Celtic game. :lol:

Joe is a donkey. That will always hang over this team.

Can we hit first and hit back when it gets physical? I'm more optimistic than some.

We definitely have a great shot but close games are not going to be our friend.

If the ratings are low then they're not making money.

You really think the owner's spending is out of their own pockets?

Ticket sales and viewership are the lifeblood of professional sports teams.

No fans watching and attending games means the NBA and the teams don't make money.

Fierce, sorry to say this, but I feel you occupy too much space in many threads. I can't be the only one feeling this way, right?

What I mean is that you seem to react to everything, being repetitive with your arguments and seemingly having the answer for everything. This adds little value, don't you think? You can still participate and contribute without overwhelming.

It has to be a 2-way street.

Every Celtic loss, some of the posters here are very repititive, to say the least.

I'm just mirroring the negativity with positivity.

As long as Tatum and Brown have to take 4 dribbles before deciding what they want to do I'm going to remain negative on this team. The ball stopping by the J's makes me nauseous. Can't anyone show them some Kawhi Leonard tapes?
